SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Unions and Palladians make
an Extra Effort.
THAT WILD AND W00LY STORY
Harrows tho Feelings of tha Audi
ence How to Bocomo Beau
tiful Explained.
Tho Unions and Palladians gac
special programs last evening.
'I he attendance was large both hails
being crowded to their utmost ca
pacity. The Palladians were late in gel
ting started owing to the difficulty
in handling the crowd. The first
number on the program was a
" Double Frontispiece" represent
ing the " Death of Virginia " and
"The Slave Mart." These tab
leaux were very well arranged and
the costumes and posings of the
young ladies took very well with
the audience.
Miss O'Connell then read a very
interesting essay on "The District
School."' Miss O'Connors vivid
discription of the school brought
back to many the days of old. Miss
Ingersoll and Miss Kcdford then
favored the audience with a piano
duet.
The recitation of Miss Wheeler
'The Knight and the Page" was
excellent in every particular. This
was followed by the vocal duet of
Misses Thompson and Pollard
which was well received. "Three
ways of putting it" were the
French, German, and Americ.in
national hymns in the original.
The vocal solo of Miss Getner sur
prised her old society friends who
lad not had the pleasure of hearing
lcr sing before. The first nart of
tho program was closed Iry Miss
Bullock who read an original poem.
The second part of the program
was eagerly looked forward to
b' many who expected to get
"roasted." The first of thee "ad
vertisements" was "Lost a cap."
This represented a typical scene
in the girls' cloak room. It was
followed l3r " Wanted Member
ship in the University Union."
Whether the "Old Maids' were
throwing out hints to the Pal boys
to do their duty, or whether they
intended to represent life in the
Union society was hard to tell.
"Wanted A room-mate," repre
sented another phase of "What is
home without a mother?" Wel
den's boarding house did not es
cape. The rush of the co-eds for
dinner was true to life.
The chancellor's letter on econ
omy was amply illustrated to the
audience. The Athletic association,
the Nerraskan, the Delian society
and the fraternities were all no
ticed in connection with this letter.
The program closed with "How
to bo beautiful," represented by
the glowing countenances of the
P. G. 1). C. The secret of their
beauty was given away in their
motto, "Use Howard's Face
Bleach." The program was in
terspersed throughout by music
from the Ideal Mandolin Club.
The young ladies of the Palla
dian society are certainly to bo con
gratulated on tho success of their
efforts.
The following names were pro
posed for membership to tho Palso:
Misses Ileiso, Woodiuause, Messrs.
Funk, Williams, Malson, and
Spencer.
SPECIAL PROGRAM AT THE UNION.
The introductory number was a
well rendered solo Warren's Fare
well, by Mr. Thomas.
Tho first chapter of tho contin
ued story of tho evening was then
read ,by Miss Pound. Tho effect
of tins was evident when tho
boys on tho back row turned up
their collars, shivered and shrank
into as narow a space as possible,
and peaked oul from lime to time
at his neighbor to nuke sine ho
was not alone in that dread hour
when fate compels him to stand
alone near the haunted house.
Even the stoutest man quailed be
fore tho shriek which came from
the haunted house donas Vale,
villain, rushed madly forth into
(hrkness seeking death and then
"Lisim," he mutters, and we hear
it ahoe the rushing of the waters.
"Must it be thus? Oh thou whoi
rules! tl.e uniese, must ,1 he
thus!"
Mr. X. C Ahhutt ihen iv.ul
chapter second, dealing largely
with the Glials and tribulations of
the late lamented Mr. IVtei lliim
stone, the dearh adored of Miss
Prieilla Knoi: aire doubtful, and
the twins dolimry and Will, sixty-
yen's younger. ISetween the twins
and Prieilla and the glass eye he
had swallowed and die boxes that
caused the su allowing. Peiehadi
a bad lime. Wheuasked the num
ber of bloomers (!. buyele lad.
he calling them !ni kerWoekci-si,
he fell called 5o siy "When m mi
wear tin m ih.y are plural; when
women do, decidedly singular.'"
After Mr. Abbott had lei the twins
load the old gentleimn a dance thai
nearly killed him he permitted the
audit nee losee justice meted to the
twins and he close I with .Johnny
hanging disconsolately by his coat
tail from a picket of the fence
while the moon looked down with
a jackal smile.
Asa relief from this closing har
rowing scene in tho third chapter,
an old farmer and his wjfe discuss
the arrival of a neighbor donas
Vale and son, formerly addicted to
wandering s-d and lone, latter to
"play in the pianner." Of course
iho old farmer had a dauglitur lie-,
loved by an awkward. ' shamb
ling firm h::ul and s.iid daugh
ter 01 eouise torments the lite out
of ibis individual. Being a take
oil' on the modern world the writer
introduced the new neighbor's son
and the farmer's aughier and he
proceeds in orthod x manner to
"cut" out tho former adorer. Lho
chapter t wis with the woe of the
awkward lover No. 1 as on the da y
of his defeat he s:ands in the corn
crib running a lock of his hair
through the corn culler while he
with comical effect mutters "Must
it be thus; Oh thou who rulcst the
univtrse must it be thus?"
Mr. Herman Shrove made some
fine hits with household scenes,
lie returned to tho haunted house
of chapter one and painted the in
terior 111 fine style, showing .Jon-is
Vale, hen-pecked and miserable,
compelled toeat a lot of soggy pie,
although he had already swallowed
the salt cellar and was a continued
dyspeptic. After giving the man
twenty minute to swallow the pie
and for the raisin stems lo take ef
fect, ho allows Jonas lo smash lho
furniture with his hair curling
shriek, thereby accounting for the
shriek that came from the haunted
house of chapter one. Then Jones
rushes forth lamenting his fate,
being the slave of his wife's cook
ing, muttering the oft-repealed,
"Must it bo thus oh, thou ruler
of the universe."
To relieve tho harrowed feelings
of tho audience Mr. Cameron sang
a solo, and this was responded to
by ono equally well rendered by
Miss Myrllo Field.
Mr. Nowbranch then proceeded
to massacre tho needless twju,
Peter, the pie-woman, and Pris
cilla. Then the other twin kidnap
donas and grows up and marries
tho farmer's daughter, and has a
daughter himself who could lisp in
her grandfather1 n sload, "Muth
it bo thuth, oh, thou thtilht nil
etht the uuiver'he muth it lie
thustlilf' Moral 'io save all an
guish and 1 romolo domestic felic
ity, learn to cook.
Mr. Plauquo favored- the au
dience with ono of his excel lent
banjo solos. As a response to jus
encore
ho gave a lino whistling
solo.
